Does bullying from a previous job still affect you?

It does me.

I had to leave a job due to a control freak boss, who would often phone me at out of office hours and accuse me of things I never did. At work, she would not allow staff to chat with each other, she would follow me around constantly and belittle me in front of clients and visitors and banned staff from socialising outside of work. We were not even allowed to ask each other how we were or say good morning to each other.

I am only capable of limited work now and even away from work I question myself and worry about things I do.

Nope. I feed off adversity these days. The things I have survived in the past have shown me what I can overcome in the present. I also have practically no fear of failure now as I view failures as learning opportunities.

Thanks for your comment I suspected that you might be the first after my short ban.

You didn’t have a ban. You were silenced. Suspension you cannot log in, silencing you can log in, check messages, and read.

Thanks for the detailed analysis buddy.

Not a problem, JimmyJohn.

In all seriousness, I do hope you overcome the trauma from your previous job. That is a heavy weight to carry around and the stress of it will affect your health in the present. Are you doing any sort of therapy? That really helped me to gain the ability to reframe past bad experiences.

No, we aren’t. I was trying to be nice and silly. He is just super confrontational all the time.

See you next month.
